Minister, stakeholders have raised with me the fact that clause 3 of the guidelines, which I think were signed off on 8 December 2017—that was two days after that media release that I spoke to earlier—provide that the AFP and the CDPP will review the operation of the guidelines within two years, or earlier in the event that a deferred prosecution agreement scheme commences. That's now 6½ years ago. Have the guidelines ever been reviewed? Were they reviewed by the former government at any point? Have they been reviewed by your government at any point? They were novel, they didn't go through any external scrutiny process and they've now actually been tested, so have they ever been reviewed?
